I always used to hate reading about “Martin O’Neill’s” Aston Villa... but maybe we do need someone who has a big reputation outside of the club. Someone who won’t be daunted by the challenge or suddenly change their philosophy because of the pressure not to lose ........on the other hand, and from a psychological view, maybe we need to plunge to such depths and become so small or insignificant (like Leeds / man city) before we can then be truly successful again .. I just don’t know... but we can’t just blame the players... god knows we’ve castigates so many of our own who went on to have decent careers elsewhere... maybe not superstars, but putting in performances better than they did when at B6.
